Package: sendmail
Version: 8.14.4-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
On my network, sendmail is configured to listen on specific addresses.
These are specified by DNS name; the DNS is local to my network. It
appears that during the boot sequence sendmail is started before bind9
and so fails because the DNS names cannot be resolved.
I can start sendmail succesfully when the boot sequence has finished,
but I usually forget to do this until I notice that no mail is being
received.
Would it be possible to ensure that sendmail is not started until after
bind9, if bind9 is installed?
